NESHAP for Vinyl Chloride (40 CFR part 61, subpart F) (Renewal)

The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Vinyl Chloride (40 CFR Part 61, Subpart F) apply to new and existing plants that produce: ethylene dichloride (EDC) by reaction of oxygen and hydrogen chloride with ethylene; vinyl chloride (VC) by any process; and one or more polymers containing any fraction of polymerized VC. This Subpart does not apply to equipment used in research and development if the reactor used to polymerize the VC has a capacity of no more than 0.19 m3. New facilities include those that commenced construction or reconstruction after the date of proposal. In general, all NESHAP standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the affected facilities. They are also required to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the monitoring system is inoperative. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance with 40 CFR Part 61, Subpart F.
